Competition GOG celebrates RPG Week, MS Paint your way to a copy of Tyranny or Pillars of Eternity

^Probably not a good idea. From the first page in this thread:

 

[J_C]

Funny, but keep it inside spoiler tag please because this isn't NSFW topic and i like to browse codex at work.

Yeah. Fuck, I have just opened the page, and this is what jumped into view. Thankfully my colleague next to me was not looking this way.

 

[Awakened_Yeti]

LOL - sorry bout that

 

[Excidium II]

People who work should not browse rpg codex.

^ But... is it BALANCED enough?

[existential_vacuum]

I wanted to make Codexian versions of the posters for Tyranny and Pillars, but then I noticed the "MS Paint" requirement. Oh well, here goes.

P.S. that's for Tyranny. I want to experience myself, what a mess it is.
P.S.S. I may actually draw something, if I conquer my frustration with an abomination that MS Paint is.

EDIT: fixed image hosting fuckery

 

[Fronzel Neekburm]

I'll go for the lowest hanging fruit. I'm in for Pillars Of Eternity.

 

[Kev Inkline]

Too much white, not balanced enough.

The Balance

Still not balanced enough, as that's not a square.


Here's The Real Balance:

200 pix by 200 pix, the color is rgb(188,188,188) or #BCBCBC aka Middle Gray

Observe how there's no opposing forces, but everything is in perfect balance and harmony, nothing happening - not entirely unlike PoE combat.

If you have a calibrated sRGB monitor, you should have a square with rgb(128,128,128) instead. You will draw such a square upon completing the tutorial for PoE 2.

 

[Nekot-The-Brave]

But that's not a multiple of 2, it needs to be 256x256px

 

[Kev Inkline]

But that's not a multiple of 2, it needs to be 256x256px

A balanced suggestion! However, diagonal will still remain irrational, I am confused and deterred. Perhaps I should have 188 for edge length?

 

[Melcar]

The fuck is wrong with you people?

Unless of zero or irrational edge length on its own you are not going to get around that square root of 2.

What if... What if the real balance isn't reachable in 2D, moreover not even in 3D?

What if it's only possible in higher dimensions? (more opposing forces to harmonize)

Just look at the Tesseract, a 4D hypercube: You can have 256 px sides, that's also 4^4 by the way. And diagonals are not only rational but whole rational, 512 px in this case. 4D Volume equals 4^4^4 px^4. Etc...

What if... no matter how hard we try, our limited brains cannot wholly perceive real balance, nor fully determine that it has been reached in space beyond our perception. All we can experience are its projections to lower dimensions, never reaching consensus on what we see. Not unlike as with PoE.

I'd prefer Tyranny. PoE is OK too but I already have the base game (so if I get it I'd regift it)

(I'm gonna win cuz I'm the only one who read the rules)

 

[Kev Inkline]

The fuck is wrong with you people?

 

[J_C]

So, when will be the winners announced?

 

[Abu Antar]

I already won.

 

[Drog Black Tooth]

play shitty games win shitty prizes

oh wait..

 

[Iznaliu]

So, when will be the winners announced?

They've already been announced. Nobody won since they were all too insulting to Sawyer.

 

[IncendiaryDevice]

So, when will be the winners announced?

They've already been announced. Nobody won since they were all too insulting to Sawyer.

I think the only 'real' entry was probably this one:

Okay, I think this will be my final entry:

Original resolution 320x200px:

Inflated resolution by 300%:

Hope you guys like it. For Tyranny btw.

And for this reason I think this guy should get all the keys and be allowed to distribute them as he sees fit.
